We used the free Saturday tickets (TAD driver) Duane Shields was giving out at his Short Line Express convenience stores, that are located throughout Las Vegas. I took lots of photos, and will start posting those tonight after work. I did not have internet and computer access in Vegas, like I do at home in South Dakota. |

Re: "Live" from our Southwestern Swing
There is a major problem when the track decisions makers does not stop the racing on a very poorly prepared track as well as a very cold track . On my run a car blew his engine about mid range and continued to drive the car leaving a trail of oil , parts until the turn off . I was in the water box and waited for appx 50 minutes for the track to be cleaned up. Mean while the starting line temperature dropped 39 degrees , no telling what it was on down the track. As a result I spun big time even though I chipped down big time and lost the race spun all the way is not fun the car was loose all the way down the track The race should have been cancelled right then instead of waiting for a car to crash to call the race until Monday . it seems that the decision makers ever year race until a car crashes then call the race wow what a way to make a decision . I am still very upset over this and most likely get over it

But, if "anyone can do it", STEP UP and do it yourself! You have absolutely no idea of what we have done and all we have gone through to accomplish what we did. So until you go and do it, maybe you should just lighten up a bit. My comment , to which you took such great offense, was tongue in cheek, and intended for a certain car, who ran with illegal internal component, while repeatedly getting horsepower, and just trying to show off. It was not intended as a slap against the older cars for whom I have the greatest respect. But take it for whatever you wish. I really don't much care, since your opinion is only one, and while some may share it, many do not. And I learned a long time ago, that you can't please everyone. So I just don't even try. Have a nice day. David The New Hemi Guy Last edited by NewHemi; 11-07-2011 at 12:59 PM. |

Re: "Live" from our Southwestern Swing
Arnold knows more about stockers than the VAST majority of the keyboard jockeys and fat wallets and regardless if you like his opinion he's entitled to it and has certainly earned the right to voice it. Think David handled it already, I would advise giving Mr Greene a break yourself.
